Beef Hominy Stew Recipe

2 lbs beef stew meat
1 Tbsp cooking oil
1 large sweet onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
6 cups water
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 can (28 oz) hominy

Get out a large pot, add the oil, and when hot, add the beef and cook quickly just until beef browns well.

Add the onion, garlic, salt and pepper; stir and cook for 30 seconds, then add cilantro and water; stir.

Turn the heat down to low, cover the pot, and allow to simmer very slowly for about 15 minutes, or until the meat is very tender.

Add the tomatoes and tomato paste, cover the pot again, and allow to simmer very slowly for about 15 minutes.

Add the hominy, cover pot loosely, and allow to simmer slowly for another 15 minutes, stirring often.

Serve hot in bowls.

Will serve 4 to 6.
